The event, curated by Vincent Gallo (pictured), takes place over the weekend of April 22, 23 and 24. Again, as always, it's held at Camber Sands Pontins, on the south coast. Details here. New acts announced include:
Jon Foxx
Trapist
Sean Lennon
The Zombies
Trapist
Autolux
John Frusciante
Jayne County
Nikolai Haas
Prefuse 73
Afrirampo
Women and Children
Magik Markers
The Tints
Already announced are Polly Jean Harvey (playing solo), The Blues Explosion, Peaches and Suicide, not to mention Gallo himself who will play a set.
Tickets are £120, which includes your chalet accommodation. There's an on-site swimming pool (awesome on the Sunday) and an arcade with those dancing games that drunk girls seem to like so much. One year they had that House Of The Dead, too, which I wasted all my beer money on. D'oh.
Thank heavens, then, that there's an on-site shop that accepts plastic! And that sells BEER!
Tickets can be purchased directly through the ATP website (link above) or in person from Stargreen (20a Argyll Street, London; 020 7734 8932), Piccadilly Box Office (St Anne's Square, Manchester; 0161 832 1111), and Radio City Box Office (St Johns Centre, Liverpool).

On this week's Silver Rocket mailout, Rachel said she got a little addicted to said machines.
I'm scared of them... I only like games with BIG FUCKING GUNS.
I wanna go to this. Maybe I will...

"Take that you undwad piece of crap, and THAT and THAT and THISSSS!!!!"
You? Want a go? Get to fuck...
Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus
Awesome.
I mean 'undead', obviously.
Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus
JAMES FUCKING CHANCE!
Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus
One of of the guns on the HOTD2 machine is a bit dodgy, too. And the rearmost pad on the dancing game's right pad is unresponsive as hell.
They have this frickin' awesome sniping game, though.
Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefus
God I really gotta get myself one of those "life" thingys or whatever they call them now.
Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more
Time Crisis 3 is hella fun, as well. There's this 24hr arcade in Stansted Airport that has it, and I have many fond memories of playing it there on a 3am break during an all night coach journey back to London, while somewhere very fishy between drunk and sober..
Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more
I like games with big fucking guns too, if that helps, but not as much as I like the dancing game. It's a kind of madness that descends on me at ATP, I can't watch any bands without thinking "ooh i gotta go on that bloody dancing game again". Even the Melvins. I had to go and dance during the Melvins. I'm SOOOO ashamed.

I attended and am compelled to say that Mogwai and and Slint were mindblowing, but, perhaps rather controversially, that Mogwai were better!
Any views????!?

DiScussed.
A new recruit is charged with delivering a report.
Can 'ee guess who...?
Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more
Am not too familiar with the new recruits...

Although he'd probably think that no one was watching him because no one could comprehend his sheer genius...or something.

I like Gallo's films, was kind of taken up the garden path with his two albums, and i dont find his choices particularly appealing.
Re: Further ATP additions: John Frusciante, Prefuse 73 and more
Please excuse my ignorance. Too busy thinking about the dancing game to pay any attention to anything.
